Answer: 126 and 128

Step-by-step explanation: In this problem have two consecutive even integers whose sum is 254.

Consecutive even integers can be represented as followed.

X ⇒ <em>first even integer</em>

X + 2 ⇒ <em>second even integer</em>

<em />

Since the sum of these is 254, our equation reads X + X + 2 = 254.

We can simplify on the left side of the equation to get 2x + 2 = 254.

Now, we subtract 2 from both sides of the equation to get 2x = 252.

Lastly, we will divide both sides of the equation by 2 in order to isolate <em>x</em>. On the left side, the 2's cancel out and on the right, 252 divided by 2 is 126.

If our first integer is 126, our next consecutive even integer will be 126 + 128 which simplifies to 254.

Therefore, our two consecutive even integers are 126 and 128.

Britney paid $4.50 for two mangoes and one bag of grapes. Finn paid $9.25 for three mangoes and two bags of grapes. Britney and
docker41 [41]
B. 4.5=2m+g
f. 9.25=3m+2g

1.25=m

sub

b. 4.5=2(1.25)+g
f. 9.25=3(1.25)+2g

b. 4.5=2.5+g
f. 9.25=3.75+2g

minus 2.5 from both sides on the b. equaion and minus 3.75 from both sides on the f. equation

b. 2=g
f. 5.5=2g

divide both sides of f. equation by 2

b. 2=g
f. 2.75=g

2.75-2=0.75

jen thought of a number. she called her number k. she subtracted 34 from her number, multiplied the result by 9, and she got 72.
sattari [20]
(k - 34) x 9 =72
k - 34 = 72/9
k - 34 = 8
k = 8 + 34
k = 42

he number of surface flaws in plastic panels used in the interior of automobiles has a Poisson distribution with a mean of 0.02
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

a) 98.01%

b) 13.53\%

c) 27.06%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a car has 10 square feet of plastic panel, the expected value (mean) for a car to have one flaw is 10*0.02 = 0.2  

If we call P(k) the probability that a car has k flaws then, as P follows a Poisson distribution with mean 0.2,

P(k)= \frac{0.2^ke^{-0.2}}{k!}

a)

In this case, we are looking for P(0)

P(0)= \frac{0.2^0e^{-0.2}}{0!}=e^{-0.2}=0.9801=98.01\%

So, the probability that a car has no flaws is 98.01%

b)

Ten cars have 100 square feet of plastic panel, so now the mean is 100*0.02 = 2 flaws every ten cars.

Now P(k) is the probability that 10 cars have k flaws and  

P(k)= \frac{2^ke^{-2}}{k!}

and  

P(0)= \frac{2^0e^{-2}}{0!}=0.1353=13.53\%

And the probability that 10 cars have no flaws is 13.53%

c)

Here, we are looking for P(1) with P defined as in b)

P(1)= \frac{2^1e^{-2}}{1!}=2e^{-2}=0.2706=27.06\%

Hence, the probability that at most one car has no flaws is 27.06%
